Makes me smile
How I admire you doing all these wonderful projects with your children.
Have never made dipped candles. Mr T did go through a spell of making candles and they lasted so much longer than the bought one’s.
Another nice post, thankyou

I’m on the look out for a candle dipping workshop or demo, but the children are really into it. Even little TF stood up on a chair by the Aga (not allowed to usually – only allowed to use the Aga if you are tall enough, in this house!) and was very business like. Such fun!
I have always wanted an aga – yet another reason! Juliex
Funnily enough, candle dipping wasn’t on my original let’s-buy-an-Aga list. Not sure why not now!
Beautiful, useful and edible. I never realized how versatile the candle was! Love the rainbow caught so perfectly on a canine head.. and you have an Aga!
Blessings, Debbie
The canine in question was not so keen. One member of the family spotted it, two others grabbed cameras and the rest all stood around. She was unsure of the sudden attention, but took it in her stride. Probably still wondering! Humans!
Brilliant …nice glimpses of a fun day
We have pj’s, tissue boxes and horrid cold/bugs …fun is on hold
Oh poor you. Not much fun feeling under the weather. I think I prefer our day. Keep warm and I hope you all feel better soon.
Nothing new in this comment… just love your home, love your aga, love your dog… and now I love your candles too!!!
The children (and me) loved this activity. I see more beeswax candles in our future. Really nice that they are all old enough to do this with now.
